Isle of Sanda

Sanda is a small private island lying just off the south tip of the Mull of Kintyre. There is a small population and the island is busy with boat trips and self-catering accommodation. It is a favourite for yachters and is a site for scientific interest (SSI).

Sanda Island has the distinction of having the remotest public house in the British Isles. Called the "BYRON DARNTON". It's named after a Liberty ship that ran aground, on March 17th 1946, in dense fog, 100 yards South West of the Sanda Lighthouse.

Legend has it that St Ninian himself is buried on Sanda and that death within a year will fall upon anyone who stands on his grave.
